Hello
nagpa ACS assessment na kami ng partner ko. ako for Software Engineer kaso sa partner ko Software Tester dahil pure manual testing siya.
narealize ko late na yung software tester ay pang 190 lang. pwede pa kayang ipabago yun kahit submitted na? ang mali ko hindi ko natignan ng maaga yung visa applicable per anzsco code. naisip ko kasi baka hindi pasok ang partner ko sa software engineer dahil wala siyang dev experience.
possible pa po kaya magpachange ng anzco code sa ACS?
(sydney based po kami parehas)
HELP po! salamat

Hello po. Unfortunately, according to ACS website, hindi na po pedeng baguhin ang ANZSCO nomination. What you can do is wait for the result and ask for a Review of Application within 60 days after receiving the result.
You can download the ACS Skills Assessment Guideline (pdeng i-google) and jump to Section 8 of the document where you can see the documentation of the Review Application process.
Nkaka lungkot lang kasi nung tinitignan ko, may review fee din.

oo nga nakita ko though parang hindi sinabi sa document na yun kung magkano ang review fee. sana less than 500 ๐
mayroon na ba dito nakapagtry mag review of application? nakakalito kasi talaga yung Software Engineer vs. Software Tester ๐ญ
kakakita ko lang din kasing wala pang allocation for visa 190 at this moment

Pumunta ng kahit saang branch pra iactivate nila ang account mo. Nitry ko na rin po na iemail at tawagan sila para tanungin sana kung nagbago ba ang process nila ang activation pero wala po sumasagot.

Hello @happeemee7 ako po dumaan sa review process. Halos same situation kami ng partner mo, purely Software Tester ang role ko sa pinas. Nagpaassess ako for both Software Tester and Software Engineer and nirecognize naman po ni ACS yung experience ko sa pinas for both ANZSCO code.
Ngayon magpaassess ulit ako for Software Engineer hoping na sana marecognize rin ang overseas work experience ko.
Hope my experience will help you.

Hello @Piper03 salamat sa pagshare bale ang mangyayari ba doon is maassess ka for both ANZSCO codes? review procesa meaning pasok ka pa sa 60 days?
Joined: Apr 05, 2020
binasa ko pala ulit so yung sa review process mo for software engineer wala pa doon yung mismong assessment? so bale 395 aud for review plus 500 aud for software engineer reassessment yun? shocks

Hello,
Iyon po bang work experience nyo, ACS di ang nag-a assess? Meron po ba nakaranas dito na, iba ang opinion ng ACS about your no. of years of experience vs sa pinasa nyo sa EOI/Visa Application? Ano pong results?
I'm actually from a different occupation. Two years from my work experience were not counted by the assessor because of their requirement about "5 main duties and responsibilities" (This was from Engineeers Australia), although I have documents to prove the work engagement; wala lang talaga yung bullet list ng duties and responsibilities.
Hence, I am wondering what are the chances of being able to claim the additional points (for actual application within the DHA) from work experience that was not counted? Or baka magka problema lang?
Salamat

yung $395 po sa Review yun na po mismo yun. Sa case ko po nagpa reassess ako at nagbayad ulit ng $500 kasi gusto ko ipaassess yung bagong work experience ko in another company and lagpas na siya sa 60days..
Joined: Apr 05, 2020
I see... thanks sa pag-share ng experience.. if magpapareview application si Partner ko (within 60 days) ang mangyayari sa dalawang ANZSCO code na siya naassess?
sana maganda din ang re-assessment result mo @Piper003.

Those who received negative assessment result, I guess it's not a good idea to apply for REVIEW as it would bring negative impact on your application. Review means you are trying to contest case officer's decision. Better to apply another ANZCO code and submit updated/tailored job duties and responsibilities. You can apply many times so long you have strong evidence to support your claims.

Hello po, sorry wala naitulong sa question mo. Pero tanong ko po sana gaano katagal inabot yung assessment ni ACS? I understand po na ang sabi nila is 8-12 weeks pero check ko po sana if medyo mas maikli ang turnaround time nila compare po sa standard weeks po na sabi nila? Skills assessment po ba ang pinasa nyo po or RPL? Maraming salamat po!

Hi, I am a licensed ECE but i'm not practicing it. I am working as a software developer/programmer for 8 years. Ask ko lang if saan dapat ako magpaassess? sa Engineers Australia ba or sa Australian Computer Society? Thank you!!

Hi tingin ko sa ACS ka nga dapat magpa-assess pero dadaan ka sa RPL path. I'm not really sure about this. Let's wait for the others to chip in.
cc: Ms. @RheaMARN1171933 maybe you have an answer to the question..

If @joboumali is nominating software developer/programmer then ACS should do the assessment. Be mindful of the changes in assessment effective July 2020 wherein ACS will only accept digital electronics subject when assessing qualification unit content.

Hello po, I'm new here.
I'm a licensed ECE but not practicing it. Employed as a Cloud Analyst for 7 years. Saan po daan po ako magpapa assess po? Sa Engineers Australia or ACS po? Salamat
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
It depends on the occupation you want to nominate. Obviously, if you choose EA, you wonโt be able to claim work experience. If ACS, all depends how much your studies would relate to your nominated occupation. Possible scenarios would be:
1. They recognise the relevance of your studies and will deduct 2 years from your 7 years
2. Not much relevance will be recognised and will deduct 5 years. Note that since July 2020, theyโve changed how they assess ECE qualification - they will only recognise digital skills subjects.
3. If not much relevance, you will then need to do RPL and 6 years will be deducted.
Hope this helps. All the best.

Mamssirs,
Goodmorning po. May naka experience na po ba ng ganitong scenario sa APEUni. Sa Repeat Sentence, first score is 67/90 pero based sa grading nya isang word lang po un poorly pronounced ko.
Then on my second take, one word yung poorly pronounced then 1 word yung average un pronunciation.
Yung grade ko sa 2nd take ko is mas mataas compared dun sa 1st. Pero yung sa 1st take ko, 1 word lang un poorly pronounced ko and rest are good.
Sorry, nagulat lang po ako sa naging scoring nya.
